what is the best thing i can do to keep my PC fast?

Answer 1

Using a registry cleaner can fix your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!It even can speed up your computer by 300% or more!
There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

Answer 2

Buy as much ram as the MB can handle, if you only have 2 slots and your running xp I'd say buy 1 stick @ 2gb and the second @ 1gb, xp can only handle 3.5 total so don't waste your$

Run a program called ram booster 2.0 , its free and will auto optimize/free up ram for you!

check what startup programs are set to run, delete the non crucial ones, this will really speed it up!

Of course defrag often once a month really depends on how much deleting of files you do.

Registry cleaning I think helps alot also.

I run anti virus= but don't like ones that take up too much system resources like ram, Mcafee seems to be excellent for this.

Make sure desktop has as little on it as possible and the background picture should be really basic. you don't have to delete your desktop icons just move them to my documents or create 1 master folder for desktop to have quick acces to them!

Last go to control panel - performance and maintnance- adjust visual effects - unclick all the boxes EXEPT the last 4 boxes , and smooth edges over screen fonts (also near bottom)
If you run games close almost every program running - using task manager - alt cntrl del that takes up cpu usage, basically everything exept SYSTEM and Local Service and Network Service files

Answer 3

Make sure the RAM usage on the computer is not greater that 48-50% at any given point of time...incraese the page file size so that the proc can handel more things at a time increasing the performance you can do this by right click on my computer---click on properties---click on advanced and click on pag file size...make sure you run virus scan atleast every 15 days...delete the temporary files and cache once in a week...click on run typw %TEMP% and click on ok selecet all files from this folder and delete them...

Answer 4

Defrag, clean up & most important is to remove the programs that are not needed in the autostart list (When windows starts) as this makes windows slow from the start..

p.s. Don't keep files which you don't need, or setup files that you used already!

Hope this helps & good luck,

Answer 5

run virus programs, trojan programs, defrag on a weekly basis, keep your internet temporary files clean. Ad wares, get rid of those. Some say a weekly maintenance of these will help, I encourage every three days.
